Fairs

Art on Paper Amsterdam

Every year, Onderneming & Kunst organizes the premier fair for art on paper. In 2024, the fair took place at the Westergas terrain in Amsterdam, where, for the first time, alongside a selection of contemporary art galleries, classical works were also presented.

Works on or with paper, whether it be pencil, charcoal, pen and ink, watercolor, gouache, or collage, showcase the artist in their most spontaneous and artistically free moments. The immediacy associated with this medium brings the artist and the viewer very close together. In their intimacy and vulnerability, works on or with paper thrive under the exclusive attention they receive at this specialized art fair.

Art on or with paper is not only artistically unique but is also often accessible and attractive in terms of size and price. Beginner art enthusiasts may make one of their first art purchases here.

One of the pillars of the event was the important role of the gallery in the purchase of an artwork. For example, a good gallery sifts the large selection for its visitors and customers and only shows what it considers valuable, fascinating and beautiful. In many cases, a gallery owner will share the story behind the artwork to the interested visitor, whose appreciation for the artwork will be even greater.

Its diverse character provided visiters to the Open Art Fair an excellent opportunity to become acquinted with many art forms and to be introduced to a large number of galleries, allowing them to make a well-considered choice for a work of art that appealed to them most.
